snow forts
Frozen defensive structures
Snow forts are structures built from packed snow, typically by children during winter play.
They serve as bases for snowball fights or simply as construction projects.
The walls may be formed from stacked snowballs, carved snow blocks, or hollowed-out snowbanks: We spent all afternoon building a snow fort in the backyard.
